One year after the successful coming together of Oberthur Technologies (OT) and Safran I&S (Morpho) that gave rise to IDEMIA, Yann Delabrière will be charged with overseeing a new phase in the Group’s growth.
Yann Delabrière, who previously served as CEO of Faurecia followed by CEO of Zodiac Aerospace, was appointed IDEMIA’s supervisory board chairman in January 2018. Since then he has gained in-depth understanding of the Company’s operations and people. IDEMIA will now look to benefit from Yann’s extensive international managerial experience.
Yann Delabrière stated: “I am delighted that the Supervisory Board is entrusting me with this new role, and am excited to be leading IDEMIA as it enters the next phase of its development. IDEMIA has developed cutting-edge technologies and services leveraging artificial intelligence, biometrics and cryptography. This makes IDEMIA a major technological player in the fields of identity management and authentication or security of payments. I have witnessed IDEMIA’s growth potential first hand and believe it is excellently poised to continue to consolidate its position as the leader in the sector”
Didier Lamouche added: “During almost six years at the helm of Oberthur Technologies (OT) then IDEMIA, I am extremely proud to have contributed to building, with the teams, what has become the global leader of Augmented Identity. Together, we achieved numerous commercial successes and brought to market significant innovations, not only in the financial sector, but also with access solutions combining biometrics and remote secure communication. The successful integration of both companies, OT and Morpho, fueled by solid operational results, opens a bright future to IDEMIA and all its employees. I wish them all every success.”
